I have a WR850G wireless router.. and for months now, when ever I log into it, change a setting and save it, it loses connection with the internet. And I have to fight with it (resetting to factory default usually a few times) until it finally gets the connection back.
It doesn't matter what I save in it, whether it be a password, filter setting, routing setting, etc. It all causes the connection to die when saved.
It's only the internet connection that dies. I still have the connection to the router. Full signal, etc. But no connection to anything web based (until I fight with it a few times and it finally comes back on). But doing that, I usually have to reset the factory defaults a few times (or sometimes many many times) until it comes back. I unplug the router and plug it back in. I use the reset button on the back of the router, use the "reset to factory defaults" on the settings page when I log into it, etc. until it finally gives me an internet connection again.
But by then, I've reset the settings.. so saving them in the first place is useless. heh.
It's annoying, since I can't really do anything with the router saving setting wise without losing the internet connection and I can't figure out why it's doing it. I had a Belkin router before, and it worked great. Maybe this router is just being screwy and it's time for a new one?
